An ode to my best friend

This week is dragggggggging  on! I just want it to be Thursday already. Two exciting things are happening on Thursday. First, at 7:20am is my appointment for my second Beta and then later that evening my best friend in the whole wide world is coming to visit until Tuesday! She lives in Edmonton (which is in Alberta, the province next to BC for those unfamiliar with Canadian geography) and I only get to see her once a year or so. SOOOOOO excited. When we planned her visit we both realized that when she arrived I would either be super happy or super depressed. She was prepared to deal with either! She is an awesome friend. When we got the horrible fertilization report I called her and we cried together then she tried to keep me positive, which worked, I think, and now look where we are! I am so thankful for her and I wish she still lived down the road like she used to. She has two adorable kids (her first pregnancy was a loss at 14 weeks, so she "gets" some of this) and is also a foster mother to an adorable 1 month old! Her husband will have his hands full this weekend! I haven't seen her in person since this time last year when we went on a girl's weekend to Tucson (her in-laws have a house there). We had planned to do something similar this year but because of my IVF we just couldn't afford a trip like that again, and being the awesome friend she is, she just agreed to come visit us so we didn't have to spend any money! So far we have manicures/pedicures planned, a fancy dinner out and then who knows what else. I might try to find a good deal on a hotel in downtown Vancouver for a night, that would be fun!

Anyways, enough of my blabbering on...I'm just excited.

Oh, remember that couple I spoke about here? They got their BFP yesterday! Yay! 2 for 2 for our clinic!

I really need to be getting ready for work. I better go. Hope you are all having a great week and hello to the ICLW visitors!

  8. I'm so excited for you that you get a visit from your BFF. My BFF will be visiting me a week from tomorrow for my birthday and to attend the Madonna concert together. She'll be here for a whole week so I'm really looking forward to it. Hope you have a great time with your BFF!
